Atom

If this is it
I think I'll change professions
If I don't quit then I ain't learned my lesson yet
And if you come back a-slidin' in my arms
I guess that I should just cut 'em off
And wrap 'em up for you to have

I'm runnin' out
But I think the money's worth it
I trade it in for shelter and insurance
'Cause the only thing I know, I know for sure
Is that I don't know how it's gonna go
And that'll break you if you let it

In my chest, atom bombs
One big shake from going off
Take a breath, keep it calm
No one likes the atom bombs

More than once
The stillness turns to sadness
Call a friend, try and conjure up the magic
'Cause it's been a hundred Tuesdays since we talked
And double that since I felt soft enough to beg someone to hold me

Play it off
With reinforced detachment
I got jokes, but none of y'all are laughin'
'Cause God fucked up and got his phone turned off
And there's so much work to be done
And no ones lining up to do it, yeah

In my chest, atom bombs
One big shake from going off
Take a breath, keep it calm
No one likes the atom bombs
In my chest, atom bombs
One big shake from going off
Take a breath, keep it calm
No one likes the atom bombs
No one likes the atom bombs

Yeah, yeah, yeah

In my chest, atom bombs
One big shake from going off
Take a breath, keep it calm
No one likes the atom bombs
In my chest, atom bombs
One big shake from going off
Take a breath, keep it calm
No one likes the atom bombs
